sherryh got a reaction from yolicious1 in I officially HATE protein shakes!
Try Zeal for Life protein! The vanilla is wonderful. You can mix with juice or milk. I especially like it with acai berry juice. I like it best blended with ice but no ice was great the first few days post op.
Zeal can be ordered online....zealforlife website.

Sparkle,
I had a similar situation but with my incisions. I was really confused on day 4 and pulled off my steristrips prematurely. I thought I was supposed to expose the sutures before taking a shower.
Anyhow, I freaked out big time. I have high anxiety already so this put me through the roof. I called the surgeons office and the PA (who I love)said to tape gauze over the sites. This did not relieve my anxiety.
The next day I woke up at 4am and sat around until my surgeons office opened at 8:30. I asked if I could see the surgeon to reapply the strips. They gave me an appointment right after the surgeon got out of surgery at 10:30.
The surgeon came in and said everything healed nicely and I didn't need to worry. As soon as he said this I immediately felt better.
The morale of the story is... Go demand to see your surgeon. You will feel immensely better once you are cleared.
